Dude: Where I grew up, you didn’t get to be elected unless you had done time

I just meant she primaried a guy who didn’t attend any debates or campaigns and won a primary where like 10% of the electorate turned out to vote. Then once she was the Democratic candidate in that district she was already de facto elected

Yurp. A certain feral cunning is required

Playing to her strengths: ie skin color.

I don’t tend to put my trust in poisonous insects though

And oddly, to her wilful ignorance

That reads like a tweet that would have made sense 2+ years ago. But he wrote it *today*

Actually, no, it would have never made sense, but you could excuse it as ignorance a few years ago.

It was mainstream democratic stance 10 years ago. Now the stance is #NotMySocialism

I read something saying that AOC's degree plan included Calculus. As someone who suffered through calculus myself, I call bullshit.

I'm not calling myself a genius by any means, but I'm definitely smarter than her, and I almost wasn't smart enough to get through that class.

Math degree holder here, she 100% does not know calculus

*googles to see if calculus is also a sex position*

As someone who only passed two out of five of the required math classes on the first try, I have such an odd combination of respect and scorn for you.

FOX (I think) did a man on the street segment in her district, they're all exactly like her it is no wonder she won there

hmm might have to edit that

If it makes you feel any better I’m almost done with my physics Ph D so I didn’t stay in math

You know, plenty of people have said that my school had a really bad physics department, and I certainly felt like that for the two classes I had to take, but I've watched youtube videos of the lectures from a guy that used to teach at MIT, and he was talking about how the average test score was a 60, and that was pretty good, so maybe physics just sucks.

Physics is highly unintuitive to people because they don’t know how to apply mathematical principles to real life situations. Same reason why people hate word problems. They don’t mind learning about hammers but they hate it if you try to teach them to hammer in a nail

I can't help but wonder if grades in that class are dragged down by people like me that had to take the 'intro to physics for physics majors' classes but weren't physics majors, or even science majors in my case.

My major was computer science, and I think the only reason I had to take physics is that the computer science department was part of the Engineering school.

Nah. The average grade in my graduate electricity and magnetism class on the final was 40

I feel a little bad about how I managed to pass that class.

Math majors at Alabama had to take CS as well. I ended up adding a CS minor because it was so interesting and useful

I found the teacher that had grades weighted in such a way that if you just did the homework, you could just show up and guess on the tests and still pass.

Yikies

What school was this?

I'll defend that behavior though, because I was at the point where I was either going to pass that class and get my degree, or drop out and be one credit away from graduating.

UNT

North Texas?

The Mean Green

Yeah

I’ve marched in that football stadium before
